Fertility Surgery – Laparoscopy/Hysteroscopy
Fertility surgery with laparoscopy and hysteroscopy can help identify and treat certain conditions that may affect conception or pregnancy. These minimally invasive procedures allow specialists to evaluate the uterus, fallopian tubes, ovaries, and surrounding pelvic structures when fertility problems require further investigation or surgical treatment.
Laparoscopy for Fertility
Diagnostic laparoscopy uses a small camera inserted through a tiny abdominal incision to examine the reproductive organs. Depending on the findings, the procedure may help manage conditions such as endometriosis, ovarian cysts, pelvic adhesions, or certain tubal problems. Treating an underlying condition may be considered as part of an individualized fertility plan.
Hysteroscopy for Fertility
Hysteroscopy involves gently examining the inside of the uterus using a thin camera passed through the vagina and cervix. It can help detect and, when appropriate, treat conditions such as uterine polyps, fibroids, adhesions, or abnormalities of the uterine cavity that may interfere with conception or implantation.
Recovery depends on the procedure performed, findings, and individual health. Your fertility specialist will explain preparation, expected recovery, possible risks, and whether laparoscopy, hysteroscopy, or another fertility treatment is appropriate.
